Untitled (Love Potion)
By Lily A, Lily C, Giovanni M, Lauren D, Zachary B, Miles B, Lincolnwood Elementary
In the beginning Dr. Von Smelly was working on an evil potion that backfired and gave him a wedgie. It made him angry. He made a new potion that mixed and turned into an ugly lady who was in love with him. She said “We gotta live in this box!” They got in the box and she got sick….love sick. He drank a love potion, left the box, and fell in love with a beautiful lady. This made the ugly lady angry. The potion inside her started to bluggle and she turned into a monster. The monster said “I’m gonna get you!” But she was actually still in love. He built a love machine that protected him and his love in a cave inside a truck. The smelly monster lady still walks the earth to this day, looking for love.

She also had a live deer. Rosanna’s mom, Ashley, wanted to smack Buck upside the head with a vase, because he was obnoxious and he kills deer which makes Ashley upset and scared. Grandpa just wants his applesauce. Buck hates applesauce and throws it in the trash. Grandpa hits Buck with his cane and says “Hey! I wanted that you young-timer!” Buck had bought Rosanna a snake and her mom hated the snake. The snake tries to eat the deer and their pet dog. Rosanna marries Buck. The mom marries the pet dog. The snake marries the deer. And grandpa marries the applesauce.

Character: Lilly-Jasmine, party girl
Setting: Library
Once Upon A Time there was a girl who liked to party. Her name was Lilly-Jasmine. She went to the library to look at some sleepover books to plan her sleepover party. A big group of funny entertainers showed up at the library. Lilly-Jasmine was [having?] time focusing on her research. She was laughing at the funny jokes. She thought the dancing was funny and crazy. So she decided to take some pictures. She joined their party. They were throwing streamers everywhere and messing up the library. Just then the librarians came back from their coffee break. The funny partiers scattered just as they arrived. Jasmine was changing and was blamed for the mess. She got kicked out for a month. Jasmine showed the librarians the pictures. The librarians kept all the party gear behind a wall. In the end Jasmine invited the crazy partiers to entertain at her sleepover. The party was enthusiastic and awesome. The parents were gone. The End.

Three New Stories This Week!
NOT SO MUCH PRESSURE
by Lazaireus P, 5th Grade Morton 2012 Argument
(Song composed by Nicholas Hart)
I am Batman and I believe that I shouldn’t save the world every day. One reason why I think I shouldn’t have to save the world every day is because I is saving the world every day and he has a life and it should not just be about saving people because he could probably die just like other humans could. One more reason is because while he is outside trying to save the world who will save his family from danger because it’s not like he could teleport. The end
